+ | The __c__loud f__i__le up- and downloa__der__. | ||
+ | Due to access restrictions of the object storage, submitting data is a cumbersome procedure for external collaboration partners (subsequently denoted as data sender, DS). Moreover, the bioinformatician (subsequently denoted as data receiver, DR), is often involved in multiple projects at the same time and hence would like to keep track of who has submitted which data to which destination. To achieve the latter, CIDER has been developed as a user friendly wrapper to access the cloud object storage and to enable easy to use up- and download capabilities for DRs and DSs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Via a web interface, the DR can invite an arbitrary number of DS to upload their data. In addition, the DR is able to track the data submission process for all DS. To this purpose, CIDER creates a new spot within the cloud and grants temporary upload access to this destination for invited DS. The subsequent sections explain the usage of CIDER from the DR point of view. | ||
